NETGEAR AV Line M4250 GSM4210PX 8-Port Gigabit PoE+ Compliant Managed AV Switch with SFP (220W) - Manual (Page 582)

The private plan port mode determines if a port (or LAG) can function in Host mode for
a primary or secondary VLAN (within a private VLAN) or in Promiscuous mode for a
promiscuous VLAN (within a private VLAN).
You can also configure a port (or LAG) to function as a promiscuous trunk for an uplink
to a router or as an isolated trunk for a downlink to multiple devices. These types of
private VLAN trunk ports can carry multiple private VLANs as well as regular VLANs.
To configure the private VLAN port mode:
1. Launch a web browser.
2. In the address field of your web browser, enter the IP address of the switch.
The login page displays.
3. Click the Main UI Login button.
The main UI login page displays in a new tab.
4. Enter admin as the user name, enter your local device password, and click the Login
button.
The first time that you log in, no password is required. However, you then must
specify a local device password to use each subsequent time that you log in.
The System Information page displays.
5. Select Security > Traffic Control > Private VLAN > Private VLAN Port Mode
Configuration.
The Private VLAN Port Mode Configuration page displays.
6. From the Port VLAN Mode menu, select the private VLAN port mode:
• General: The port functions in general mode and not as a port in a private VLAN.
This is the default setting.
• Host: The port functions in host mode in a private VLAN. In this mode, the port
can be member of a community VLAN or isolated VLAN:
• Community VLAN: The port is a member of a secondary VLAN (within the
private VLAN) and can communicate with other community ports and
promiscuous ports.
• Isolated VLAN: The port is a member of a secondary VLAN (within the private
VLAN) and can communicate only with promiscuous ports.
To configure a host port to be a member of specific VLANs, see Private VLAN host
interface: Assign the interface to primary and secondary VLANs on page 583.
• Promiscuous: The port functions in promiscuous mode in a private VLAN. In this
mode, the port can communicate with all types of ports in the private VLAN,
including other promiscuous ports, community ports, and isolated ports.
